What We believe
• We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God.
1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17.
• We believe that there is one God, who has always existed in three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; Ephesians 4:4-6.
• We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His death on the cross for our sin, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His final return in power and glory.
Matthew 1:23; John 1:1-4 and 1:29; Acts 1:11 and 2:22-24; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4 and 4:15.
• We believe that all are lost and face the judgment of God, that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation, and that for the salvation of lost, the payment of our sin debt, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in a life transformation by the Holy Spirit.

• We believe in the unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and that all true believers are members of the body of Christ, the Church.

Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15; 1 Peter 3:15.
